wouldn't it be nice...
Sep. 8th, 2005 03:25 pm...if we could come up with a Democratic presidential candidate who can figure out how to most effectively say "THEY are the ones who LEFT YOU TO DIE" without coming off like he's exploiting the crisis? Democrats typically lose unless they're politically unknown and Southerners. This time around, they'll have a big in with the South to start with. Any bets on whoever it is screwing it up so bad that even destitute survivors of Katrina decide that the Republicans are _still_ a better choice, even with their blatant contempt for anyone who doesn't own a company? I thought not. I don't have great faith in anyone this time around.
Maybe this potential candidate should hire whoever ran Bush's campaign, where he shamelessly exploited 9/11. Remember that? You know, setting up a monumental failure as a positive point? Let's just hope the Demos figure it out before the fascist team can get somebody credible into place.
Not that it'll matter if any more Supreme Court justices kick over dead or retire in the next year or so, but still, it's a nice thought.
Oh, plus we have to survive, as a country, through the massive upcoming economic doom festival we've just been handed.
Yup, the next couple of years will be A BLAST.
